Marie Kreutzer was still fleshing out the screenplay for “Corsage,” her spiky depiction of the 19th century Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Vicky Krieps), when the Austrian writer/director went to the supermarket. At the magazine stand, she noticed a string of covers, all featuring Meghan Markle. “The headlines were different,” Kreutzer said, speaking over Zoom from her home in Vienna. “It doesn’t matter what it’s about, it only has to be about her. There’s always someone judging her. Whatever she did, it was wrong.”
That same judgmental gaze is a burden faced by Kreutzer’s version of the Empress from the start, as she turns 40 and grows tired of the formal expectations placed upon her at every turn. “The core of the film, for me, is that women have always been and still are raised and trained to please, Kreutzer said. “That’s something we grow up with.”
